Outline Principles of Learning Characteristics of patient learners
(children ,adolescent, adult ). Andragogy Learning Tips for Effective Instructors
(Elements of learning): - Motivation - Transference - Retention - Reinforcement
9
Principles of Learning We learn to do by doing. We learn to do what we do and not something
else. Without readiness, learning is inefficient and
may be harmful. Without motivation there can be no learning
at all. For effective learning, responses must be
immediately reinforced. Meaningful content is better learned and
longer retained than less meaningful content.

Characteristics of patient learners(children ,adolescent, adult ).
Teaching Children: Teaching adolescent As a person matures: Teaching Older patients Barriers to Adult Learning
11 How can these differences affect your educating technique
12
Teaching Children.How?
Teaching Children:
Consider growth and development stage. They are not small adults. They have short alertness span, don’t prolong
sessions.
13 How can these differences affect your educating technique
Teaching Children:
They Learn more through practice Consider play therapy. They pay attention in sessions.
14
15
Teaching Adolescents.How?
Teaching adolescent
Peer group very important. Use language that shows them that they are
adults. Teach them like adult.
16
Teaching adolescent
Teach them without parents. Group teaching and support groups makes
good effects. Give responsibility. Body image is very important. Honesty is crucial.
17 How can these differences affect your educating technique
As a person matures :
His/her self-concept moves from dependency to self-directing
Accumulates a growing reservoir of experience, which is a rich resource for learning
18 How can these differences affect your educating technique
As a person matures :
Change in time perspective: from future application of knowledge to immediacy of application---more problem-centered than subject-centered in learning
Motivated to learn by internal factors rather than external ones
19 How can these differences affect your educating technique
As a person matures :
Established Beliefs, values Less flexible Are accustomed to responsibility
20 How can these differences affect your educating technique
As a person matures :
Have rich experience Have different learning styles. Fear failure and embarrassment. Need praise and encouragement.
21 How can these differences affect your educating technique
Teaching Older patients :
Speak at a low tone. Present information slowly with explanations. Reduce distraction.
22 How can these differences affect your educating technique
Teaching Older patients :
Allow plenty of time for absorption. Keep in mind their reduced capacity of
learning. Use experience and groups.
23
Teaching Older patients :
Keep in mind their anxiety level. Involve family member. Avoid making changes in medical regimen
unless necessary.

Learning Tips for Effective InstructorsThere are four critical elements of learning that must be addressed to ensure that participants learn. These elements are Motivation Reinforcement Retention Transference

Motivating the Adult Learner Another aspect of adult learning is
motivation. At least six factors serve as sources of
motivation for adult learning: Social relationships: to make new
friends, to meet a need for associations and friendships.
External expectations: to comply with instructions from someone else; to fulfill the expectations or recommendations of someone with formal authority.

31
Motivating the Adult Learner Social welfare: to improve ability to serve
mankind, prepare for service to the community, and improve ability to participate in community work.
Personal advancement: to achieve higher status in a job, secure professional advancement, and stay abreast of competitors.
Escape/Stimulation: to relieve boredom, provide a break in the routine of home or work
Cognitive interest: to learn for the sake of learning, seek knowledge for its own sake, and to satisfy an inquiring mind.

32
Barriers and Motivation Adults have many responsibilities that they
must balance against the demands of learning.
Because of these responsibilities, adults have barriers against participating in learning.
Some of these barriers include lack of time, money, confidence, or interest, lack of information about opportunities to learn, scheduling problems, and problems with child care and transportation.

33
Barriers and Motivation
The best way to motivate adult learners is simply to enhance their reasons for education and decrease the barriers.

Barriers and Motivation Feedback must be specific, not
general. Participants must also see a reward
for learning. The reward does not necessarily have
to be monetary. Finally, the participant must be interested in the subject. Interest is directly related to reward.

35
Reinforcement
Reinforcement is a very necessary part of the teaching/learning process; through it, instructors encourage correct modes of behavior and performance.
Positive reinforcement is normally used by instructors who are teaching participants new skills. As the name implies, positive reinforcement is "good" and reinforces "good" (or positive) behavior.

36
Reinforcement
Negative reinforcement is the contingent removal of a noxious
stimulus that tends to increase the behavior. The contingent presentation of a noxious stimulus that tends to decrease a behavior is called Punishment. Reinforcing a behavior will never lead to extinction of that behavior by definition.
Punishment leads to extinction of a particular behavior, but positive or negative reinforcement of that behavior never will.

37
Reinforcement
When instructors are trying to change behaviors (old practices), they should apply both positive and negative reinforcement.
Instructors need to use it on a frequent and regular basis early in the process to help the learners retain what they have learned. Then, they should use reinforcement only to maintain consistent, positive behavior.

Retention learners must retain information from classes
in order to benefit from the learning. The instructors' jobs are not finished until they
have assisted the learner in retaining the information.
In order for participants to retain the information taught, they must see a meaning or purpose for that information.
They must also understand and be able to interpret and apply the information.

39
Retention
The amount of retention will be directly affected by the degree of original learning. Simply stated, if the participants did not learn the material well initially, they will not retain it well either.
Retention by the participants is directly affected by their amount of practice during the learning.
Instructors should emphasize retention and application.
After the learners demonstrate correct (desired) performance, they should be urged to practice to maintain the desired performance.

40
Transference Transfer of learning is the result of training It is the ability to use the information taught
but in a new setting. As with reinforcement, there are two types of
transfer: positive and negative. Positive transference, like positive
reinforcement, occurs when the participants uses the behavior taught .
Negative transference, again like negative reinforcement, occurs when the participants do not do what they are told not to do. This results in a positive (desired) outcome.

Transference Transference is most likely to occur in the
following situations: Association -- participants can associate the
new information with something that they already know.
Similarity -- the information is similar to material that participants already know; that is, it revisits a logical framework or pattern.
Degree of original learning -- participant's degree of original learning was high.
Critical attribute element -- the information learned contains elements that are extremely beneficial (critical) for the person ( ex. Job).

At the end The heightened success requires a greater
responsibility on the part of the teacher. The learners come to the course with
precisely defined expectations. There are barriers to their learning. The best motivators for adult learners are
interest and selfish benefit. If they can be shown that the program
benefits them pragmatically, they will perform better, and the benefits will be longer lasting.
